Using your guitar hero controller - It's easy, I promise.

I'm not sure whether this has been said already, but just incase...
If you have a 360 guitar controller, simply plug it into a high speed USB port and use windows hardware installer when it pops up saying "found new hardware" and it will install the proper programs so that you can use your controller.

for the guyu that didnt have internet on at the time..

go into device manager and uninstall the drivers for the controller, re install with internet, and it should find them and work

Well, it took forever, but it eventually found the drivers and installed them. Thanks, guys.

Right here:

Red Octane's XBOX 360 Gibson X-Plorer Guitar Drivers for Windows

You'll need to put it under "XBOX 360 Controller", it will work with the X-Plorer.

Your controller will automatically find the drivers, just did it yesterday. I had a heck of a time playing Quake 4 with my guitar XD.

I have the RadioShack ps2 to usb adapter and using a ps2 sg controller (model PSLGH) but I cannot get windows to recognize button/strum bar presses. Every now and then in game controller properties if I hold down fret buttons for a while, they eventually show up, but the lag is like 20 seconds. I've tried using the drivers included on the cd from RadioShack, and also letting windows install its own driver, however neither one seems to work. Anyone have similar issues or have ideas? It's aggravating seeing some people posting that they have had no problems with this adapter ???

I have a question Which controller is better/cheaper? The PS2 controller of the 360?

On what exatcly? I have a GameStop near my house, and a BestBuy. I was looking at the controllers and it looked like the PS2 controllers are cheaper simply becasue they are Last-gen. IS there a benifit to getting a usb, 360 controller over the PS2 one?

[warhol]

You don't need to buy an adapter.

[adthrawn]

For the PS2 one you do..don't you?

Yes, you need an adapter for the PS2 controller.

XBox 360 controller should plug'n'play since it's already a USB.

On a side note, I just got the Radioshack $11 PSX/2 to USB converter and it works like a champ with the RO wireless! No special setup. Just install radioshack drivers (I went into the control panel/game controllers to double check that it worked), start up FoF, and program your keys. No problems what-so-ever!
